Explore online cloud identities

Let's now focus
on the online cloud identities
used by Microsoft, specifically Office 365.
Office 365 supports three sign-in identity models.
These are cloud-only identity,
synchronized identity, and federated identity.
With a typical Office 365 tenant,
you use cloud-only identity.
This is the default and is also known
as an online or account identity.

Accounts are created manually
with the Office 365 admin center.
Office 365 uses Azure Active Directory,
or Azure AD, for account identity.
A synchronized identity is where accounts are created
using an on-premises directory, such as Active Directory,
and then passwords are then kept in sync
between the on-premises directory and the cloud,
with the cloud verifying access.

The final type of cloud identity
is called federated identity,
which is a lot more complex to set up and maintain.
It is similar to the synchronized identity
in that the user accounts are based
on an on-premises directory,
such as Active Directory and then kept in sync.
But the ultimate verification is retained
by the on-premises identity provider.
